How to apply

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certification transcript from Microsoft, Cisco or AWS, short summary of one infrastructure project you led plus IT degree or diploma.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Polokwane; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

Mention the environment size, such as "120 VMs, 14 sites, 900 users", as it tells recruiters your level.
Group your CV skills by area, such as networking, cloud, security and scripting, so the tech reviewer finds them fast.
